  1. Descriptive vs Experimental Research

    Descriptive Research is a research approach that involves collecting data to describe a phenomenon or group. The goal of descriptive research is to provide an accurate and detailed picture of a particular population, event, or situation. Descriptive research can be conducted using various methods, such as surveys, observations, and case studies.

  2. Descriptive vs experimental research

    Definition. Descriptive research is a method that describes a study or a topic. It defines the characteristics of the variable under research and answers the questions related to it. Whereas experimental research is a scientific approach to testing a theory or a hypothesis using experimental groups and control variables.

  3. Difference Between Descriptive and Experimental Research

    The main difference between descriptive and experimental research is that the descriptive research describes the characteristics of the study group or a certain occurrence while the experimental research manipulates the variables to arrive at conclusions. Descriptive research and experimental research are two types of research people use when ...

  4. Types of Research Designs Compared

    You can also create a mixed methods research design that has elements of both. Descriptive research vs experimental research. Descriptive research gathers data without controlling any variables, while experimental research manipulates and controls variables to determine cause and effect.

  5. A comparison of descriptive research and experimental research

    A comparison of descriptive research and experimental research. By Priya Chetty on May 18, 2020. Quantitative research refers to data present in numeric form. When collected using a primary method, it uses statistical data collected by means of a questionnaire (Apuke, 2017). The purpose of quantitative research is to emphasize the collection of ...

  6. 2.2 Psychologists Use Descriptive, Correlational, and Experimental

    Descriptive, correlational, and experimental research designs are used to collect and analyze data. Descriptive designs include case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation. The goal of these designs is to get a picture of the current thoughts, feelings, or behaviors in a given group of people.

  7. 3.2 Psychologists Use Descriptive, Correlational, and Experimental

    Descriptive, correlational, and experimental research designs are used to collect and analyze data. Descriptive designs include case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation. The goal of these designs is to get a picture of the current thoughts, feelings, or behaviours in a given group of people.

  8. Descriptive Research

    Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically describe a population, situation or phenomenon. It can answer what, where, when and how questions, but not why questions. A descriptive research design can use a wide variety of research methods to investigate one or more variables. Unlike in experimental research, the researcher does ...

  9. Experimental research

    Experimental research is best suited for explanatory research—rather than for descriptive or exploratory research—where the goal of the study is to examine cause-effect relationships. It also works well for research that involves a relatively limited and well-defined set of independent variables that can either be manipulated or controlled.

  10. Descriptive Research Design

A descriptive research design can use a wide variety of research methods to investigate one or more variables. Unlike in experimental research, the researcher does ...

  11. 5.8: Descriptive Research

    Experimental research goes a step further beyond descriptive and correlational research and randomly assigns people to different conditions, using hypothesis testing to make inferences about how these conditions affect behavior. It aims to determine if one variable directly impacts and causes another. ... researchers often compare observations ...

  12. Descriptive Research vs. Experimental Research: What's the Difference?

    14. Descriptive research steadfastly adheres to capturing the status quo without asserting any alterations to its environment or subjects. This type of research embraces methodologies like observational studies, case-study approaches, and surveys to garner data. Whereas, experimental research delves into systematic exploration through ...

  13. 1.4: Psychologists Use Descriptive, Correlational, and Experimental

    Descriptive, correlational, and experimental research designs are used to collect and analyze data. Descriptive designs include case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation. The goal of these designs is to get a picture of the current thoughts, feelings, or behaviors in a given group of people.

  14. Experimental Research Designs: Types, Examples & Advantages

    Difference between experimental research and descriptive research. Experimental research establishes a cause-effect relationship by testing a theory or hypothesis using experimental groups or control variables. In contrast, descriptive research describes a study or a topic by defining the variables under it and answering the questions related ...

    Some scholars view observational studies as a form of descriptive clinical research that is very helpful in preparing the way for more rigorous experimental studies. The Longitudinal Study It is a prospective, quantitative and/or qualitative, observational study ideally based on primary data, tracking a group in which members have had, or will ...

  19. Differences Between Experimental & Descriptive Research

    There are several differences between descriptive research and experimental research that are important for anyone conducting research or reading the research of others to understand. Descriptive research, while easier to do, is less suited to explaining a connection between two variables. Experimental research is ...

  20. Descriptive Research

    The three main categories of psychological research are descriptive, correlational, and experimental research. Research studies that do not test specific relationships between variables are called descriptive, or qualitative, studies. These studies are used to describe general or specific behaviors and attributes that are observed and measured.

  21. Descriptive Research

    Experimental research goes a step further beyond descriptive and correlational research and randomly assigns people to different conditions, using hypothesis testing to make inferences about causal relationships between variables. We will discuss each of these methods more in-depth later. Table 2.1 Comparison of research design methods

  22. Quantitative Research Designs: Non-Experimental vs. Experimental

    A traditional experiment may involve the comparison of a control group to an experimental group who receives a treatment (i.e., a variable is manipulated). When done correctly, experimental designs can provide evidence for cause and effect. ... Non-experimental research is usually descriptive or correlational, which means that you are either ...

  23. Difference between Descriptive Research and Experimental Research

    01. Descriptive research refers to research which describes a phenomenon or else a group under study. Experimental research refers to research where the researcher manipulates the variable to come to an conclusion or finding. 02. Descriptive research is easy to do in social sciences due to manipulating variables.
